People are generally concerned you've got cancer if you drop weight, or some other horrific disease. Gaining weight just makes you a fat cunt which has implications relating to your moral fibre, so is impolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the BTTF musical in Manchester when it first came out. It's mint! Off to see the Stranger Things show in the West End in April As for Indians, my British Indian doctor mate took me here last year when we were at a conference together in London.

Went for Christmas dinner at my mam's and had her texting my wife after to ask if I was ill. I was pissed off at the time, but I recently saw some photos from Christmas day and I did look fucking unwell. I mean, I wasn't. I was what would probably be considered a healthy weight, and if I'd been walking around like that in the 60s and 70s before we all became fat cunts, no one would have said owt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36206 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I usually took the kids to school, one day I didn't and one of the mams asked the wife if I was ok as I looked gaunt. Looking back at old photos I just looked slim but I suppose it depends on the starting place of who's viewing you? We both put a bit of weight on after the kids were born so by the time they were in the infants/junior school I'd done something about it so probably looked to some that I could be unwell. Stress at the time probably helped lose it as well plus the job I was doing at the time was a physically active one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6790 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Cheers all. And yep, doing what I can to keep on the right track - avoiding medicating with alcohol for the time being and hoping the lads give us all a boost later. I've done the happy pills Gloomy, and it's evident they don't work for me, sadly. I see a therapist every other week who, whilst not cheap, is insanely brilliant at keeping me sane. There's a couple of characters in my past whose influence has been extremely damaging. Trying to get beyond it is a massive challenge - particularly when it impacts my day-to-day living. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayyabs (which is closer to Brick Lane) is great too. In both places, it’s all about the grilled meat than the curried though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 23471 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Can only empathise Craig. I'm a ball of nerves at the minute. Not helped by all the crazy shit happening in the US, which is beginning to directly impact my job as a lot of my work is on vaccines and have communications with the CDC and ACIP. Those people are going through hell, it's insane what is happening. Just taking a day at a time, look for another job, and staying off the drink is all I can do at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
